AN elderly woman and her daughter, who are both disabled, had a handbag stolen from their car while in Morrisons car park.

The incident happened at about 6.30pm on Friday, July 13 at the store in Clearwell Road, Winyates.

The victims had put their shopping and a handbag in the boot of their Volkswagen Polo, which was parked in one of the disabled spaces, when another vehicle, desc-ribed as an old-style white Ford Fiesta, pulled up behind them.

A man got out, opened the boot and took the handbag.

The man is described as white, about 5ft 8ins tall, with a tanned complexion and blond hair.

The green leather bag contained about £90 cash, and bank and store cards.
